Great Grandma Kennedys Buttermilk Candy Recipes

Steps:

• Put all ingredients except vanilla and nuts into pan and cook, stirring constantly until soft ball forms when dropped in cold water.
• Add vanilla and nuts and beat till creamy.
• When cool, cut into squares.
• Also makes good frosting for spice cake.

Steps:

• Lightly grease a cast-iron pan or griddle with vegetable oil, wiping off excess with a paper towel. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks into the buttermilk, then whisk in the butter. In another bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then sift these dry ingredients into the buttermilk mixture. Lightly whisk together until the batter is just mixed (a few lumps won't hurt). In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a whisk until soft peaks form. Use a rubber spatula to fold them into the batter. Don't overwork the batter; keep it light and fluffy.
• Heat the griddle over medium-high heat until hot. (To test, flick a bit of water onto the pan; it'll bead up and dance if it's hot enough.) Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle. Cook until little holes appear on the surface and the cooked side of the pancake is golden brown (lift the edge to check), about 1 minute on each side. Don't worry if the first one or two don't turn out well-that's normal. Continue making pancakes, regreasing the pan as needed. Stack pancakes on a plate, slather generously with butter, and pour on a few good glugs of real maple syrup. Makes 4 batches of 3 pancakes (4" in diameter).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Combine sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl; whisk until fully combined. Add coffee, buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes; batter will be thin. Pour into the prepared baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat a griddle to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda in a mixing bowl; mix thoroughly. Add 3 cups buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs; mix thoroughly by hand with a spoon. Add more buttermilk to adjust consistency if needed. Batter should be slightly lumpy but not too thick; pancakes will be flat if batter is overmixed.
• Working in batches, spoon batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until the bubbles that form on the top surface begin to pop, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 2 minutes more.

Steps:

• Oil temperature should be at 375 degrees F.
• Add baking soda to the buttermilk. Let set while preparing the next steps.
• In a large bowl mix the sugar, crisco and egg.
• Add the baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the flour in small bowl.
• Mix flour mixture and buttermilk alternately into egg mixture until mixture holds together. Add a little more flour if needed.
• Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead until it springs back when pushed inches.
• Roll out, cut with a doughnut cutter.
• Drop in hot crisco, which has been heated to 375 F for about 3 minutes.
• Turn the doughnuts after they come to the surface of grease (about 1 1/2 minutes) and cook other side (about 1 1/2 minutes).
• Drain on paper towels.
